Authorization failed using FF3 (Win32)

[Realriot]

Today, 1 day after the release of FireFox 3 I'm trying to login to my
mailman 2.1.10. After entering the correct password the errormessage
"Authorization failed" is shown. Deleting the Browser Cache/Cookies didn't
fix the problem.

There's no problem logging in with Firefox 2 or IE7. All other tested
browsers work, too. Except FireFox 3.

I've been using FF3 on both OS X and Ubuntu and have had no problems
interacting with any of the mailing lists. I think we'll need more
information in order to help you.

I second Barry's comment. I have no problems with FireFox 3 on Win XP or
Mac OS X.

Seems to be a cookie problem (or something like that). If I login with
directly giving the pass (adminpw=foobar) it works... Entering the password
at the password prompt the login fails...

Today I've found the problem. The problem consists of "copy & paste".

- I got an email with a password to enter
- I copied this password with a double-click and STRG-C
- I pasted the password in the password field
- Clicked OK and got the message "wrong password".

Now I tried the following:

- I marked the whole password from the right to the left
- Copied it with STRG-C
- And pasted it
- Successfully logged in

Seems, that FF3 additionally uses a "\n" with the password or something
like that. FF2 didn't react this way. Is there any way to disable this
behaviour? It's very strange to use copy&paste for passwords now.

This is a FireFox issue. It has nothing to do with Mailman.
